The idea is to use a set of prompts to encourage you to read, and to read books you might otherwise not sample. So far I’m counting Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch as my “book you’ve read before that never fails to make you smile.” I’m about a third of the way through The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck for the audiobook prompt. Anyone else want to play along? We could check in as we finish books, and share what we thought. Here’s the main list: 1. A book recommended by a librarian 2.
